Cruise worker gets gifts from guests and eats lavish dinners in £9k a day suite

A cruise ship worker who spends her life on the seas has shared a behind-the-scenes look at her enviable lifestyle – including the gifts from passengers and lavish perks she enjoys.

Karissa, who has millions of likes on TikTok, @karissaeats, is a glamorous singer on cruise liners who performs most nights for guests.

Due to being an evening singer she often hops off the ships when they dock to try the local food or hangs out on board with the guests.

She recently uncovered what life at sea is like on the mammoth cruise ships – and currently works on a six star luxury liner.

In fact, the ship is so glam that there are even two Picasso artworks on board!

A luxury ship means wealthy guests – so tips and gifts are not uncommon.

In fact, Karissa claims she was once given a bag of Christmas presents from Australia to open when working on December 25.

It's not just Christmas; passengers often give the crew presents after their cruise holiday is over.

Karissa says that she was once invited to a private party with the guests staying in the penthouse suite – the most expensive one on the ship.

It has its own butlers and bar as well as a private restaurant that only they can access, and they could order dishes from any kitchen on the ship.

It sounds amazing but unsurprisingly doesn't come cheap: a stay will set you back $11,000 a day (approximately £9,200)!

She said: "They bought us out nine different courses, and I was so stuffed but they just kept bringing out food."

It’s not just cruise ship workers who are given gifts from passengers though.

A flight attendant has revealed that cabin crew often get gift cards and other thank you presents too.

Jessica Lyons, 34, from Brazil, works as a cabin crew member in Chicago, USA, and has been doing the job for two years.

She explained: “Passengers are usually so nice to us we get a lot of chocolates, Starbucks gift cards and some tips especially during the holidays.”
